I have clear plastic (bread type) bags that I will use. If I have a male plant, I cut it back some and put the clear plastic bag over it, tied tightly at the stem. I'll even lay the plant on its side to help collect the pollen in the bag. When the flowering is finished, The plant is removed to outside, the bag carefully removed and the pollen collected and the plant destroyed.

might I ask how you deal with the moisture created by transpiration of the plant during photosynthesis?...seems the plastic would trap moisture and destroy the pollen...

At the point I put the bag on, I have stopped watering it. Collection is only for 3 to 4 days. Moisture is very light.
